Firmware 2.4.2? Is this new?

[SteveReno]

Hi Rex,

Rex, try Normal things, Reboot everything.
Change video mode to 1080, take a few test shots,
If you got feed , then go back you your normal shooting mode.
Nobody has lost feed as of yet.
Sometime, camera will even turn on properly, which was a problem for GP update V4.0. . Several other reported this.
is your GP V3 V4 ?
Let me know

I am curious about this. Another poster here described having similar problems with his bird wanting level calibrations unexpectedly. I am beginning to wonder if there is another bug in the new firmware. He was also running IOS but his bird would not complete the level calibration.

I ran a quick flight yesterday and it didn't require a level calibration, no H3B+ auto-on though which it had had with the previous update (2.4.1-x)

bottom line, is the update safe?

Additionally, check all of your internal connections. Open it up. Make sure that all cables going to/from the gimbal are tight. Disconnect/reconnect each one to verify. Also hook your gopro hdmi out to something else other than solo, like a tv, to verify you are actually getting HDMI output from the gopro. The HDMI connector in the gopro itself has been known to break. It's not really designed to be connected/disconnected thousands of times. Some of the internal connections inside solo are pretty weak as well and have caused video issues for a lot of people which has been thoroughly discussed on the site. @SteveReno has a good thread about a solution for one of the internal connectors using foam which has helped a lot of people.

seems stable but still as broken as 2.4.1

altitude in zipline still nada
gopro still doesn't power on
return to me still induces a flyaway-like syndrome

is that with Android on the tX? mine (iOS) is set to RTM and it did it quite accurately.

BTW, autotmatic recording during smart shots is now broken
at least for zipline. No auto-recording was happening.
